I love Central football with a passion, as much as anybody, trust me. But people, we need to seriously remember where we came from.

This team is not the Dallas Cowboys. On any given day, a decent team that throws the ball around the field and doesn't make mistakes could potentially beat us. We've shown this year that against teams that are good at running the spread offense, we're capable of giving up 30+ points. If we revert to our fumbling habits, we could be pouring gasoline on a fire. This Hazard team is NOT Paintsville, they're right about that. We can't just show up and expect to win without working for it against any team on our schedule this year.

So I know we have a lot of fans on here who would probably make us two touchdown favorites against Highlands, but the bottom line in my opinion is, yes, Hazard CAN play with Central if Central is overconfident and doesn't come to play. It's all well and good for the fans to talk smack on here, but if any of our boys are reading this, keep your heads on the ground, keep listening to coach, and don't believe the hype: you have to come to play every week and work just as hard every game if you want to win anything that matters!
